The statement doesn't apply to you. Y'know (sorry to interupt y'alls argument) but all this talk about 'privilaged classes' and only the rich can afford software.... Sounds like a bunch of propaganda to me. Who ever said that GNU was political has hit it on the head. Sounds like socialist propaganda, making the 'poor working class' think that the 'rich capitalists' are Evil and that only GNU can free the working classes with their FREE software. If someone wants to give something away, great. If someone wants to charge for something, equally great. But to try to force someone to do as you wish is wrong. At least here you have a choice (unlike with some political viewpoints), don't use GNU. -- John Sparks | {rutgers|uunet}!ukma!corpane!sparks | D.I.S.K. 24hrs 1200bps ||||||||||||||| sparks@corpane.UUCP | 502/968-5401 thru -5406 Never call a man a fool; borrow from him.
